Report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services.

The Committee considered a report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services in respect of the requirement on local housing authorities, under Section 166A of the Housing Act 1996, to have a scheme for allocating housing accommodation. Members noted that the City Corporation’s Housing Allocations Scheme was comprehensively rewritten in 2017 and implemented following extensive consultation with relevant stakeholders. The scheme has now been refreshed, with some minor changes, to ensure that it remains as up to date as possible. In response to a question, officers agreed to investigate why income thresholds used the National Living Wage and not the London Living Wage (LLW).

RESOLVED, that – the Housing Allocations Scheme be approved.
